The third installment in the Furai No Shiren series is getting a cool new weapon development system. You can still find weapons in random dungeons, but now Shiren can activate a “Dragon Pulse” (竜脈) and let his weapon sit for a few turns to develop a new attribute or become stronger.

Finding a Dragon Pulse wil be the first step. They appears randomly in dungeons and look like those glowing orbs. The player can choose which orb to activate. The color is associated with a statistic or attribute. After finding one, Shiren will have to present an offering which is the item the player wants to augment. In the picture he is presenting a kamaitachi sword to an orb of the darkness element.

After finding the Dragon Pulse and offering a weapon, Shiren must read a Barrier Scroll. This will set up the gate you see surrounding the weapon and orb. After leaving the weapon in the gate, Shiren must wait a few turns for the process to finish. If either Shiren or an enemy wander into the gate before the process finishes, it will collapse and the orb will vanish. You can recover your offering but it won’t have gained the desired attribute.

Since setting up a Dragon Pulse takes several turns, it will be risky if enemies are nearby. It’s probably best to wipe out as many as possible before attempting this procedure.
